Last year the derelict house at 162 Dennis St. had a hole in the roof and was experiencing squatting. Now the vacant lot will be made available to Habitat for possible development
A derelict home in the city’s downtown that was used by squatters has been demolished and could soon be rebuilt as much-needed affordable housing.
Reached by phone on Friday, SSMHC chair Luke Dufour said the proposed sale is just the most recent example of the organization’s Investing in Change Fund. “It prevented the city from having to go through the courts to tear it down, it prevented the neighbours from having to live next to a building that unfortunately was unable to be properly cared for and was being broken into,” said Dufour. “Now we are seeing this really awesome full circle where Habitat will be building an affordable house there.”
